In the Marquesas Islands
Quote:
A boy usually has his first sexual experience with a much older woman, who instructs him in his first bungling attempts. Many of my older Marquesan friends looked back upon this initiation with fond memories and much amusement at their own ineptitude. The boys generally join a small informal group of comrades of similar age, who spend their evenings wandering about the dark valleys attempting to enter the homes of receptive women of all ages and conditions of life.
It has to happen at some point. Might as well be an older woman performing the instruction.
Moreover, if you have two equally inexperienced partners bungling together, then a pregnancy is probably more likely to occur.
What you are making the argument is partially that the psychological damage is due to upbringing.
However the examples you are using can easily be demolished.
1. Areas in question are in the tropics.
2. Areas in question are surrounded by water
The combination of the two means that wearing lots of clothing to begin with is not only impractical, but can be downright dangerous if one has to swim, not to mention the tropical heat and humidity...
So while you can make a case that the damage is due to cultural upbringing, that still doesn't change the fact that what LKL has said about children in Western Society is correct.
